Programatic selection of node should always happen without timers

[joachimmarder]

We have the flag tsSynchMode in Virtual TreeView that allows to perform operation without using timers. We should use this to avoid the use of timers if a node is selected programatically. I don't see a point in delaying the notification the selection change through the OnChnage event in this case, and the use of timer here can cause very strange runtime behavior.

I'm not doing this, but maybe someone, somewhere is recreating the underlying nodes when a change occurs, meaning that the PVirtualNode instance disappears before the code that triggered the change has finished.
If this is done inside a keyboard event from the virtual tree itself, it may very well try to access a destroyed node, with the consequences that everyone can imagine.
The usual way to circumvent this is to post a message and do the "suicide" code inside the handler, but it can also be done with timers. Maybe this is the reason why they are here, even if I dislike them as much as you do.
